Leading Role of Shipping Transport in Overseas Trade at Indian Major Ports
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The present paper attempts to study the effective role of total shipping performance in overall growth of the overseas traffic performance at major ports of India during the period 1999-2000 to 2008-09, against the backdrop of liberalisation and globalisation of Indian economy, thus focusing on how far the growth of the total shipping performance is responsive to growth of overseas cargo traffic performance at these ports, in compliance with the policy measures. So, this paper ends up with the scenario of both the actual and expected performances, focusing on the strengthening of effective policy planning, drawing attention to the roles of various policy practitioners in this respect.
